Each player chooses a Guard. One monster from each level is selected at random, and the first monster is revealed. Every round, all players roll their dice, then each player in turn selects one of their dice and follows the corresponding action on their Guard cards. Next, if the monster’s Health has reached zero, it is defeated and replaced with the next monster. Otherwise, the monster attacks the players whose actions had the highest Peril. The players have a limited number of rounds before the monster breaches their defenses, and they win by defeating the final monster before then.
In ''None Shall Pass'', you are ''not'' one of the brave four chosen heroes of destiny that saves the world. You are a guard, keeping the Big Bad in its tomb while minion monsters attempt to free it. Stand your ground and defend the seal, and you might just live to retirement.

==Setup==


A player’s Guard is like their specialty within the team, and every combination of Guards can be successful. Learn about each Guard in the Guards Classes section.
==== Guards ====


''' Guard Cards '''
In the beginning, each player chooses a '''Guard''' (hero class), two EXP points [[File:NoneShallPass_expIcon.png]], and six cards. The cards determine your Guard's attributes and possible actions.


Guard cards determine a player’s possible actions and attributes. Each card shows a Guard’s title, a level, a Level Up Cost (Green Arrow), and an attribute: Health (Red Heart), Armor (Blue Shield), or Experience Reward (Green Diamond).
[[File:NoneShallPass_guardCardAnatomy.png]]


Additionally, each card shows two actions, each consisting of a name, instructions to follow when taking the action, a die roll needed to select that action, and a Peril (Yellow Triangle) number that indicates how dangerous the action is.
Each card has two actions (for a total of six, corresponding to a {{whiteDie|6}}). Each action has instructions, the die roll needed to select that action, and a Peril number. ''Peril'' [[File:NoneShallPass_perilIcon.png]] indicates how dangerous an action is. The more Peril, the more likely you are to be targeted by the monster (if no one else chooses a more dangerous action than you).


== Monsters ==
Each card can also be leveled up [[File:NoneShallPass_levelUpCostIcon.png]] (up to level 4) by spending EXP [[File:NoneShallPass_expIcon.png]]. Leveled-up cards increase the power of abilities and attributes.
 
====Monsters====
 
Monster cards are organized by level, with higher levels representing stronger monsters. Every monster has a name, level [[File:NoneShallPass_levelUpCostIcon.png]], HP [[File:NoneShallPass_healthIcon.png]], Attack strength [[File:NoneShallPass_attackIcon.png]] (how much HP is taken from the player on an attack), and a unique ability.
 
[[File:NoneShallPass_monsterAnatomy.png]]
 
==Gameplay==
 
If there is no monster on the board (because it's the start of the game or the previous one was defeated), a new one is randomly drawn for the next level.
 
All players roll their 3 dice, then take turns selecting one of their dice to take a corresponding action. After all the players have taken their turn, the monster attacks the player(s) whose action(s) had the highest value ''Peril'' [[File:NoneShallPass_perilIcon.png]] (value ranking).
 
The monster must be defeated within a certain number of rounds, or it will "breach". If they defeat all the monsters before then, they win.


''' Monster Cards '''
====Player's Turn====


Monster cards are organized by level, with higher levels representing stronger monsters. Each monster card shows the monster’s name, level, Health (Red Heart), Attack (Yellow Sword) showing how much the monster hurts the players, and an unique ability.
The player selects a die and follows its action's instructions. After the action is resolved, their icon is placed on the Peril track [[File:NoneShallPass_perilIcon.png]] based on the action's value.  


''' Monster Abilities '''
The {{whiteDie|6}} represents a bonus action. You may take this action before or after your main action. If you roll {{whiteDie|6}} {{whiteDie|6}}, you can take the {{whiteDie|6}}) action twice.


Every monster has an unique ability, and some might even override the regular rules. Take a close look when a new monster arrives!
If you roll three of a kind, you can take ''any'' two actions. Choose the Peril from one.


== Rules of Play ==
Once per round, each player with at least one level-4 Guard card may spend one EXP [[File:NoneShallPass_expIcon.png]] to reroll one die.


Play is divided into rounds, in which all players take one turn, then the monster takes its turn.
====Actions====


''' Player's Turn Summary '''
Most actions involve taking or dealing damage. When a monster takes damage, its HP decreases by that amount. A player who takes damage, he/she gains ''Wounds'' [[File:NoneShallPass_woundIcon.png]] equal to the damage minus their Armor [[File:NoneShallPass_armorIcon.png]].


* -Each player rolls their dice (unless Incapacitated)
The guard's health [[File:NoneShallPass_healthIcon.png]] indicates how many '''Wounds''' [[File:NoneShallPass_woundIcon.png]] they can have before becoming ''Incapacitated''. A player who is Incapacitated at the beginning of an action does not roll dice. Instead, they must perform their {{whiteDie|3}}) action (which is always a healing action). They also do not place a die on the Peril track [[File:NoneShallPass_perilIcon.png]]. Incapacitation lasts an entire round, even if you lose enough Wounds before your turn. Similarly, gaining Wounds during the round doesn't Incapacitate you until the next round.
* -Each player selects a die and follows its action’s instructions
* -If you rolled a 6, may also select it as an action before or after your main action (unless playing as an Automaton)
* -Rolling triples allows ANY two actions (unless playing as an Automaton)


''' Beginning of the Round '''
Some actions and events give players EXP [[File:NoneShallPass_expIcon.png]] which can be spent to improve attributes and actions. At any time, a player may spend EXP [[File:NoneShallPass_expIcon.png]] equal to the Level Up Cost [[File:NoneShallPass_levelUpCostIcon.png]] on one of their Guard cards. That card is flipped or swapped with the card beneath it to reveal the card one level higher.


At the beginning of each round, all players roll their three dice (Automaton will roll 2). Starting with the player who has the first turn token and moving clockwise, each player takes their turn.
== Monsters ==


''' Player's Turn: Rolling '''
When all players have done their actions, the monster's turn starts. It attacks [[File:NoneShallPass_attackIcon.png]] the player highest on the Peril track [[File:NoneShallPass_perilIcon.png]]. If more than one player is at the same position on the magic track, the damage is divided evenly. Then its ''Breach'' level goes down by 1.


On each player’s turn, the player selects one of their rolled dice, follows the instructions of the action with that die on their Guard cards, and places the selected die on the Peril board according to the action’s Peril (Yellow Triangle).
[[File:NoneShallPass_monsterBoard.png]]


The player may select one 6 result in addition to their selected die. If so, they follow the instructions of both dice in either order, but their Peril remains that of their normally-selected action.
If the monster's HP is at zero when it starts its turn, it is defeated. All players receive 1 EXP point [[File:NoneShallPass_expIcon.png]]. The next level monster takes its place, but does not attack right away.


If a player’s three dice all roll the same number, the player follows the instructions of any two actions (or the same action twice) instead. Their Peril (Yellow Triangle) is whichever they choose from those two actions.
If the monster's Breach level goes below 1, it has broken through the seal and leaves. The players receive no EXP. The next level monster takes its place.


''' Player's Turn: Actions '''
== End of Game ==


Many player actions and monster abilities refer to someone taking Damage (Yellow X). When a monster takes Damage, its Health (Red Heart) decreases by that amount, moving the monster tracker’s tokens accordingly. When a player takes Damage, they gain Wounds (Red Heart with X) equal to that Damage minus their Armor (Blue Shield) (shown on the 3-4 Guard cards); Armor reduces the amount of Damage a player takes and may even reduce it to zero.
If the fifth monster breaches, the game ends and the players lose.  


A player’s Health (Red Heart) (shown on the 1-2 Guard cards) indicates how many Wounds (Red Heart with X) they can have while still fighting. At the beginning of a round, if a player has Wounds greater than or equal to their Health, they are Incapacitated for that round. Incapacitated players do not roll their dice. Instead, they must follow their 3 action’s instructions on their turn and cannot place a die on the Peril (Yellow Triangle) board (they have no Peril). Incapacitation lasts an entire round, even if you lose enough Wounds before your turn. Similarly, gaining Wounds during the round can’t Incapacitate you until the next round.
If the players reduce the final monster's HP to 0, the players win.


Some actions and events give players Experience (Green Diamond) which can be spent to level up, or improve, player attributes and actions. At any time, a player may spend Experience equal to the Level Up Cost (Green Triangle) on one of their Guard cards. That card is flipped or swapped with the card beneath it to reveal the card with the same dice and one level higher.

Overview

In None Shall Pass, you are not one of the brave four chosen heroes of destiny that saves the world. You are a guard, keeping the Big Bad in its tomb while minion monsters attempt to free it. Stand your ground and defend the seal, and you might just live to retirement.

Setup

Guards

In the beginning, each player chooses a Guard (hero class), two EXP points NoneShallPass expIcon.png, and six cards. The cards determine your Guard's attributes and possible actions.

NoneShallPass guardCardAnatomy.png

Each card has two actions (for a total of six, corresponding to a white die​). Each action has instructions, the die roll needed to select that action, and a Peril number. Peril NoneShallPass perilIcon.png indicates how dangerous an action is. The more Peril, the more likely you are to be targeted by the monster (if no one else chooses a more dangerous action than you).

Each card can also be leveled up NoneShallPass levelUpCostIcon.png (up to level 4) by spending EXP NoneShallPass expIcon.png. Leveled-up cards increase the power of abilities and attributes.

Monsters

Monster cards are organized by level, with higher levels representing stronger monsters. Every monster has a name, level NoneShallPass levelUpCostIcon.png, HP NoneShallPass healthIcon.png, Attack strength NoneShallPass attackIcon.png (how much HP is taken from the player on an attack), and a unique ability.

Gameplay

If there is no monster on the board (because it's the start of the game or the previous one was defeated), a new one is randomly drawn for the next level.

All players roll their 3 dice, then take turns selecting one of their dice to take a corresponding action. After all the players have taken their turn, the monster attacks the player(s) whose action(s) had the highest value Peril NoneShallPass perilIcon.png (value ranking).

The monster must be defeated within a certain number of rounds, or it will "breach". If they defeat all the monsters before then, they win.

Player's Turn

The player selects a die and follows its action's instructions. After the action is resolved, their icon is placed on the Peril track NoneShallPass perilIcon.png based on the action's value.

The white die​ represents a bonus action. You may take this action before or after your main action. If you roll white die​ white die​, you can take the white die​) action twice.

If you roll three of a kind, you can take any two actions. Choose the Peril from one.

Once per round, each player with at least one level-4 Guard card may spend one EXP NoneShallPass expIcon.png to reroll one die.

Actions

Most actions involve taking or dealing damage. When a monster takes damage, its HP decreases by that amount. A player who takes damage, he/she gains Wounds NoneShallPass woundIcon.png equal to the damage minus their Armor NoneShallPass armorIcon.png.

The guard's health NoneShallPass healthIcon.png indicates how many Wounds NoneShallPass woundIcon.png they can have before becoming Incapacitated. A player who is Incapacitated at the beginning of an action does not roll dice. Instead, they must perform their white die​) action (which is always a healing action). They also do not place a die on the Peril track NoneShallPass perilIcon.png. Incapacitation lasts an entire round, even if you lose enough Wounds before your turn. Similarly, gaining Wounds during the round doesn't Incapacitate you until the next round.

Some actions and events give players EXP NoneShallPass expIcon.png which can be spent to improve attributes and actions. At any time, a player may spend EXP NoneShallPass expIcon.png equal to the Level Up Cost NoneShallPass levelUpCostIcon.png on one of their Guard cards. That card is flipped or swapped with the card beneath it to reveal the card one level higher.

Monsters

When all players have done their actions, the monster's turn starts. It attacks NoneShallPass attackIcon.png the player highest on the Peril track NoneShallPass perilIcon.png. If more than one player is at the same position on the magic track, the damage is divided evenly. Then its Breach level goes down by 1.

NoneShallPass monsterBoard.png

If the monster's HP is at zero when it starts its turn, it is defeated. All players receive 1 EXP point NoneShallPass expIcon.png. The next level monster takes its place, but does not attack right away.

If the monster's Breach level goes below 1, it has broken through the seal and leaves. The players receive no EXP. The next level monster takes its place.

End of Game

If the fifth monster breaches, the game ends and the players lose.

If the players reduce the final monster's HP to 0, the players win.

Variants

Two Players

Each player gets a second Guard to control. BGA automatically shows the cards and dice for the current Guard's turn, but there is a "Toggle Guards" button at the bottom-left to see the other Guard's cards and dice.

Three Players

One of the players will be an Automaton. The first player decides its actions.
